FTP site orginazation (draft 2)
After some discussion, the proposal is now:
ftp/pub/debian/
stable -> dists/stable
frozen -> dists/frozen
unstable -> dists/unstable
Debian-1.3 -> dists/stable (note lack of trailing ".1")
dists/stable -> <dist> (symlink to current stable distribution)
dists/frozen -> <dist> (symlink to current frozen distribution)
dists/unstable-><dist> (symlink to current development distribution)
dists/<dist>/ (actual location of distribution files)
main/ (main distribution files)
documents/ (auxillary documentation files [1])
contrib/ (contributed distribution files)
non-free/ (non free distribution files)
non-US/ (non US distribution files)
(hope I didn't miss anything)
[1] This was proposed as an additional side-distribution where documentation
can be placed that is not directly attached to programs within the main
distribution. Thus things like "emacs-doc" would stay in "main" since
it's directly attached to emacs, but things like "bible-kjv" would move
here. It's also good for journals, e-mags, and any large collection of
information documents. This would normally be shipped right along side
"main" on a CD, but if it gets too large, could be shipped on a separate
CD. Upload restrictions to this directory would also be greatly relieved
since it can't really have any adverse effects on a system.
